If you would like to implement tax you can do so by using the Product Field configured as a Calculation field type. Got it! That was easy to understand.</p> <p>Need assistance here<br /> 2. Then configure the formula for the calculation to calculate the appropriate tax. Our tax rate is an additional 0.0825%, so I don't know what the formula would be… ___ x 0.0825?</p> <p>Need assistance here<br /> 2.1. You would do this by adding up the value of all of the Pricing Fields that exist on your form and then multiply them by the appropriate tax rate. </p> <p>I thought this was it...<br /> ( + {Delivery:27} + {Pork Tamales - Regular (one-dozen) (Price):5.2} + {Pork Tamales - Spicy (one-dozen) (Price):6.2} + {Beef Tamales (one-dozen) (Price):7.2} + {Chicken Tamales (one-dozen) (Price):8.2} + {Spinach &amp; Cream Cheese Tamales (one-dozen) (Price):9.2} + {Killer Queso-Large (16oz) (Price):12.2} + {Killer Queso-Small (8oz) (Price):17.2} + {Fajita Chili Gravy-Large (16oz) (Price):13.2} + {Fajita Chili Gravy-Small (8oz) (Price):18.2} + {Gotta Luv It Guac’-Large (16oz) (Price):14.2} + {Gotta Luv It Guac’-Small (8oz) (Price):19.2} + {Super Salsa-Large (16oz) (Price):15.2} + {Super Salsa-Small (8oz) (Price):20.2} + {Big Bag of Tortilla Chips (Price):16.2} * {Sales Tax (0.0825):28.2})<br /> but it just adds everything up BEFORE they actually add quantities.</p> <p>Easy - I got this part...<br /> 3. If tax should only be applied in certain situations, you can then use conditional logic to show or hide that field based on the conditions that must exist in order for the tax to be applied. This I get! I use Conditional Logic all the time.</p> <p>Does this help explain what I'm looking for?</p> <p>Thank you for your time! I love Gravity Forms and this is the only time I needed help, so great job on that!</p> <p>Doug G. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tax-issues#post-89246 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 12:34:00 +0000 David Peralty 89246@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Doug, there are many complexities of adding tax to a form. Which tax rate? Which products are taxable versus non-taxable? Where is tax calculated in the process of selecting a product, its options, and its shipping. These things aren't something that can be added into a button because the user interface for this would be complex. That is why we've provided the instructions above. Can you attempt to follow them, and let me know where you get stuck? Is it the calculation that is providing you difficultly? Let me know with a link to your form so I can get a sense of what hurdles you are having. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tax-issues#post-89225 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 11:32:08 +0000 douganddarla 89225@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This paragraph or two is leaving me lacking for how to do this. I'm not a programmer, I'm not a math wiz. That's why I bought Gravity Forms. I'm sure this is child's play for you guys, but I would like a video to show this "simple" method above. Come on guys, if it's that easy, make a button for it.</p> <p>Gravity Forms is THE best form maker in the world, and to not have a tax button is absurd. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tax-issues#post-71387 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 23:49:39 +0000 Chris Hajer 71387@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Please see this explanation from developer David Smith:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_Forms_Pricing:_Adding_Tax" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gravity_Forms_Pricing:_Adding_Tax</a></p> <p>There used to be a tutorial there on how to add tax to a form, but it's much simpler to do from the form builder now, by using the calculation fields. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tax-issues#post-71335 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 13:10:15 +0000 accessgroupmedia13 71335@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>but can you show me step by step in detail on how to add tax.</p> <p>or if you guys can make a video tutorial page that would help a lot!</p> <p>Im a visual person.</p> <p>Thank you </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tax-issues#post-71240 Thu, 16 Aug 2012 00:08:28 +0000 Chris Hajer 71240@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you are using the PayPal add-on, PayPal can figure the tax for you. If you're not, we can consider this a feature request. Gravity Forms is not intended to be a full shopping cart/e-commerce solution, and as such, we have not included this feature. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/tax-issues#post-71227 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 19:54:16 +0000 accessgroupmedia13 71227@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>omg I am not much of a coder. would there be any possibility that you guys can just create a Button field where it can add the tax rate in which country is the user selecting. pretty much the whole lot. and also integrate UPS shipping.</p> <p>I am trying to build a website kind of like Vista print. but... I come to a dead end trying to figure out how i can put sales tax depending on where people live. also with shipping.</p> <p>please please make a field that does it all for us already. </p> <p>this is my site.</p> <p><a href="http://www.accessgroupmedia.com/express-print/" rel="nofollow">http://www.accessgroupmedia.com/express-print/</a> </p>
